Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Mark 2:1

CONTENTS.

The HOLY GHOST is pleased to record, in this Chapter, the cure which the LORD JESUS wrought on the Man sick of the Palsy; CHRIST's call of Matthew; his sitting at meat with Publicans; and his divine Discourses at the Table. The Chapter closeth with an account of his passing through the Corn-field on the Sabbath-day.

AND again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

It is very blessed to behold the earnestness of the people in following JESUS. Luke saith, they pressed upon him to hear the word of GOD. Luke 5:1. Reader! are we as earnest to follow JESUS? Are the public offices, and the gates of great men crowded with persons, and shall not you and I delight to be found waiting at the pardon office of JESUS?
